Han Chengjue stayed in Guili Palace, hugging Su Mingyue without closing his eyes all night.

Before the morning of the next day, he held an emergency meeting. The participants were not the ministers of the court, but the secret agents of the Jinwu Guard and the Yanshan Guard, as well as several internal eunuchs. Don't let go of all the crimes.Of course, he expected early on that he might be found out in the end. If the spies found out that the emperor had become a villain, it would be wrong, so he confessed that the main crimes were corruption, forming a party for personal gain, and treason.

After all, the crime of adultery is not a big deal for men, and it may not necessarily lose their heads, and it is even more difficult to judge, but corruption, forming a party for personal gain, and conspiracy, if you have it, you can do it, and if you don’t have it, you can force it to you for you.

In a few days, Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice held a joint trial and convicted [-] crimes.Since ancient times, literati will not be beheaded, it is great to be exiled into the army, but Qiu Zhenglan is charged with treason, and ten of the nineteen charges are beheading, but there is no such thing as raping a prostitute.

Conspiracy is a capital crime, so no wonder the emperor, it's useless to call yourself a literati.Naturally, accepting advice in front of the Hall of Scholars would not result in the crime of beheading. Han Chengjue was still an enlightened and virtuous monarch, a courteous civil servant, but anyone who accepted advice would not even get a spanking.

The trial of this case was very fast. In the Rebellion of the Liao Dynasty, there were still those who were in prison waiting for the imperial pen to approve it. If Han Chengjue's imperial pen did not approve them, they would not die. The first culprit was stabbed at the vegetable market, and died after receiving [-] knives. The rest of the party all beheaded and punished the nine clans.

After dealing with Qiu Zhenglan, there was one more person to deal with.

Su Yunhai was once again detained in the palace by the emperor. Han Chengjue had so many old father-in-laws, so he would not give him any special face. A founding father like General Liang can still treat each other with courtesy, but Su Yunhai is just an insignificant person. people.He was taken into a dilapidated and deserted house by the eunuch to wait, and no one gave him an explanation or explanation.

The emperor didn't see him. At dusk, an unknown eunuch came in with a few guards, a glass of poison-wine, three feet of white silk, and ordered him to commit suicide.Su Yunhai didn't understand what crime he had committed at all, he cried and begged the inner prisoner for an explanation, so that he could understand to death.

Seeing that he would die if he refused, the eunuch persuaded him a few words.

Su Yunhai's death was imminent, he seemed to understand suddenly, he rushed to the door, first shouted the emperor, then called the names of the three sisters of the Su family, before shouting a few words, the guards pushed him to the ground and began to force poison He struggled to dig the ground with both hands, and all ten nails broke off.

When Su Yunhai committed suicide by taking poison, Su Jingzhi and Su Mingyue were sitting around the bed embroidering children's aprons and shoes, gossiping about family matters.

Su Mingyue said: "That man was sentenced to oral torture in the vegetable market, and he was hacked for a total of [-] knives. Why didn't you stop by to have a look when you came into the palace?"

Su Jingzhi frowned, "I'm most afraid of seeing blood." Putting down the tiger-toed shoes in her hand, she sighed, "Actually, he's not guilty of death, it's too much for you to make such a fuss that he ransacked his family and harmed his children and grandchildren." .”

Liang Guanjing and Su Mingyue smiled at each other and exchanged a look.

Su Jingzhi also felt embarrassed, "Yes, I am a woman's benevolence."

Liang Guanjing said: "I have persuaded the emperor, the punishment is appropriate, and don't implicate the family. It's just that we are not the ones who convicted him. They all said that he offended the emperor, so there is no way. Could it be that we rush out to save people? come down?"

Su Mingyue said: "When he did that kind of thing back then, why didn't he think about his family and his descendants?"

Liang Guanjing looked out of the window, Lianxiang came here in a hurry through the corridor, she knew what letter she came to report, Su Yunhai should have died at this time.

This is the court, this is the harem, life and death are taken, and life is like morning dew.

What would the imperial concubine in Changle Palace think when she heard that her father had died in the palace?Remember the attic from many years ago?Will you remember that your mother was dragged upstairs and force-fed poison-drugs?Will you think of the hands that were quietly stuffed back by the housekeeper under the head? Those ten fingers and nails were cut off.

I'm afraid it won't happen. She's busy resting her mind, putting decals on her temples, fighting in the harem, and keeping her position. How can she have time to think about her worthless father?

During the Lantern Festival again, Liang Guanjing and Su Mingyue went out to the palace to enjoy the folk lantern festival. Han Chengjue was by his side. For some reason, he lost the two wives in the dimly lit place amidst the hustle and bustle.

If he lost it, he lost it, and he came back the next day. Last time, he made too much trouble. This time, Han Chengjue returned to the palace with confidence, leaving only a few secret agents to go out to find someone.

As a result, the Empress Empress and Su Mingyue, who had been promoted to Jieyu, still did not come back on the second day.

On the third day, those who went to Liang's mansion to inquire came back said that Liang Guanjing and Su Mingyue had never returned to their mother's house, and that the Su's mansion was already in ruins.

A few days later, the spies sent by Han Chengjue to Su Mingyue's hometown in Jiangzhou came back to report that Su Mingyue's silly brother moved out of the shabby room a few years ago, and now he lives in the east wing of the old house facing the sun, with a kitchen chef for three meals a day In response, early in the morning, a servant took the Gong bucket out to pour Yexiang.The people who took care of him were not old members of the Su family, and the inner secret agents didn't know who these people were, they only knew that they were doing their best to take care of this fool.

Standing in Guili Palace, the birdcage under the porch was empty, the door of the cage was open, and the blue-haired skylark he had found from the South China Sea to give her was unknown.

When reviewing memorials in the imperial study room, Han Chengjue often thought of Su Mingyue, as if she was sitting in front of the case and smiling at her as soon as he turned his head.

In fact, Su Mingyue hardly smiled at him, it was because he remembered wrongly.

He knew that Su Mingyue had annoyed him, and he refused to forgive him for a while, even if he avenged her, it still couldn't cancel it.But it doesn't matter, she is pregnant with her own child, and she will come back sooner or later.

Thinking of this, he put this matter aside for the time being. There are countless beauties in the harem, and it is sad not to see Su Mingyue for a while.Sad and sad, on a night with a bright moon thousands of miles away, drinking wine as a song, seeing things and thinking about people, unexpectedly there is no sadness in my heart, even the feeling of sadness, like Su Mingyue, has become a painting, a piece of art. This poem was deeply imprinted in Han Chengjue's heart.

Su Mingyue's beauty is even incomparable to that of Su Jingxian, who is pregnant. After all, a woman with a big belly must lose her beauty, and she can't be touched easily.Although Su Mingyue had the same big belly, but he didn't get to see it in person, he could only imagine it when he was far away, and the more he thought about it, the more sad he felt.

She would come back, with their baby, he was sure of that.

Liang Guanjing and Su Mingyue and a group of people drove a carriage on the Xinyang official road.

There is a carriage, Xiyu is driving the carriage, carrying Su Mingyue and Hongling Cailian, there are three other riders outside the carriage, Liang Guanjing and Lianxiang, and Feng Xu rides on horseback.

For the convenience of traveling, Su Mingyue dressed Xiyu who was driving the car in men's clothes, and Liang Guanjing, as the backbone of their group, also dressed in men's clothes, which was more convenient. As for brother Xu, she was only twelve or thirteen years old, so it was easy to dress up as a young man.

Xiyu's men's clothing still looks like a servant, she is usually reticent, and she doesn't really raise suspicion when she is out, her voice is deliberately lowered, it is not very obvious.

Liang Guanjing couldn't do it anymore, she spoke with a female voice, Su Mingyue's mother told her a formula of herbal medicine, her throat swelled after drinking it, her voice became hoarse and deep, it sounded like a male voice, but she couldn't drink this for a long time Planting decoctions, on the one hand, is not beneficial to the body, and on the other hand, taking a small sip will cause a sore throat for a day or two, she can't bear it.Artists in the rivers and lakes go around the streets and play juggling tricks to get rid of the temporary needs. In short, the medicinal materials are hard to find, and the medicine is also difficult to make. Therefore, I only prepare a small bottle to carry with me, and use it as a last resort.Normally, Liang Guanjing would simply claim that she had a throat problem, so she couldn't speak properly, so she just imitated Na Xiyu's reticence so as not to attract attention.

Su Mingyue carefully made two mustaches and pasted them on Liang Guanjing's lips. This mustache has spent all her life's learning, so it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false after it is pasted, making it hard for people to see the clues.

Hongling Cailian and Brother Xu looked at it, and they were amazed. With these two mustaches, Liang Guanjing looked more like a man than Princess Zheng at first glance.

Su Mingyue was very proud in her heart, "If I made it out of sheepskin and hair finely, and stuck it on her places, it would be like a man who has shaved his beard. It just feels wrong to the touch. Don't make people feel frivolous, and you won't be hurt. Discover."

The girls in the carriage all went to look at Liang Guanjing, Hong Ling said: "The Empress dressed up as a man, she really can't lose to Gu Changfeng."

Cai Lian also nodded, "This appearance is really memorable, whether it is a young wife or a big girl, or even a manly man, they can't help but look at her."

Liang Guanjing frowned, and began to teach them a few lessons, "I've said it all, I will be called Dong Liuye from now on, and I was sent by the imperial court to serve as a thousand households in Songcheng, and I was awarded the title of Lieutenant of Zhongxian from Liupin." Wan Wan said to Su Mingyue again, "Can you put more effort into my face so that it doesn't stand out so much?"

Hong Ling said: "Did you appoint yourself an official? Why not directly appoint a general, it will be more convenient to lead troops to fight."

Liang Guanjing pointed at Su Mingyue, "You tell her."

Su Mingyue said eloquently, "The generals will go to Beijing to receive awards. Seven or eight out of ten generals who lead troops to fight now know the queen. These generals are gathered together in the capital, and the paper can't contain fire. But Starting from the sixth-rank school lieutenant, you can bring your family with you in the army, and you can't bring your family with you any further down, which is inconvenient."

Cailian said: "The sky is big and the earth is big, why go to the frontier to suffer from the wind and sand?"

Su Mingyue said: "I said I would leave the palace, and I will not come back from now on. When I asked you if you would go, you said that you had thought it over and wanted to follow me. Now that you have regretted it, you can go back to the palace."

Liang Guanjing sneered, "Go back to the palace? It's a good idea! Go back to the palace and report on us? You have already boarded the thief ship. If you go back on your word, I will definitely kill you with one knife."

Cailian stuck out her tongue, "Then... we can go to Shuzhong to meet Gu Changfeng, it's much more convenient to have him take care of us."

Su Mingyue said: "After the year, my second sister has already gone with him to the middle of Shu to serve the left and right. If we go again, will they be okay? General Gu's marriage has been wasted for half his life, so let's not hurt him anymore .Besides, there is an indistinct ambiguity with the concubine, how can Han Chengjue forgive him?"

Thinking about the product that was cut into pieces by a thousand knives, Cailian was speechless.

"In today's peaceful and prosperous age, those who plow and weave always have a way to survive, go to the border..." Cailian was still a little aggrieved.

Liang Guanjing said: "I am useless, and I have no other skills. If I want to support a big family, I can only lead the army to fight."

Lianxiang wore a female relative's bamboo hat, and covered her face with a white veil, only to hear her giggling under the veil and said: "Don't listen to Dong Liuye's nonsense, she just wants to be skilled for a while, and misses the days of gold and iron horses."

Liang Guanjing said: "It is better to be a dog of peace than to be a person in troubled times. Who likes to fight!"

When Su Mingyue saw her riding a horse and whipping her whip, and went to explore the way, she felt that this person was a coquettish and talented person. If she hadn't gone to lead the army to fight, her talent would have been buried!
